Couple of thoughts...
Remember the episode where his body guy quit to go do a special car for Foose. Boyd told him to never come back. Yeah and Foose quit working for him too. What kind of boss lets that kind of talent just walk?
RIP Boyd. You were one hard working and talented dude.
People walked out because Boyd worked them to death. Nobody was happy working there. And Boyd's #2 man was a major asshole himself. I remember that episode where a new employee got sick and didn't show up to work one day. She said she called in sick and left a message but nobody got the message. They fired her that same day. I also remember Boyd's people working into the wee hours of the morning--2AM sometimes working into the next day to meet deadlines. The talented painter who went to Foose was one of those guys that did that a lot. Boyd would always refer to him as "family". Would you expect your wife to work for you all night and into the morning? Then, when the painter guy decided to leave, Boyd wouldn't even talk to him and basically threw him out. That's "family"? I'm sorry but, Boyd was a ruthless business owner. I'm sorry for his death but there was a reason people quit on him left and right.

Honestly, if i were him, the time couldn't be more right to fake my own death... God knows, after watching one episode of his "reality" show, nobody with enough brains to spell their name correctly on a check would buy anything from his shop. Cash out, start fresh, buy a 20-year-old blonde.

Is there a final episode, or a tribute, etc?

"The cause was complications of diabetes, said Brad Fanshaw, a former president of two of Mr. Coddington’s companies."
That from the New York Times.
